Police Investigate Domestic Violence Assault in Wadeye

The Northern Territory Police Force are investigating a domestic violence and assault police incident that occurred in Wadeye overnight.

Around 10pm, local police received reports that a 21-year-old male had threatened his 18-year-old female partner with a bow.

Police attended the location and as they were speaking with the victim, two arrows were allegedly fired in the direction of members and the 18-year-old.

Police quickly took shelter and conveyed the victim to a secure location before attempting to locate the offender, who fled the scene.

Additional resourcing was deployed and officers have since arrested a 21 and 14-year-old male in relation to the offending, along with seizing a bow and a number of arrows.

Both remain in custody and are expected to be charged later today.
